    摘要: A polishing apparatus is used for chemical mechanical polishing a copper (Cu) layer formed on a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer and then cleaning the polished substrate. The polishing apparatus has a polishing section having a turntable with a polishing surface and a top ring for holding a substrate and pressing the substrate against the polishing surface to polish a surface having a semiconductor device thereon, and a cleaning section for cleaning the substrate which has been polished. The cleaning section has an electrolyzed water supply device for supplying electrolyzed water to the substrate to clean the polished surface of the substrate while supplying electrolyzed water to the substrate.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate cleaning apparatus and method are capable of efficiently removing contamination from both the obverse and reverse sides of a semiconductor substrate. A single cleaning liquid supply nozzle for supplying a cleaning liquid to both the obverse and reverse sides of a semiconductor substrate to be cleaned is placed at a distance from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate. An ultrasonic vibrator applies ultrasonic waves to both the obverse and reverse sides of the substrate. Four driving rollers are disposed in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the substrate. The driving rollers are adapte to rotate while being engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the substrate thereby drivingly rotating the substrate.

    摘要: A wafer dry cleaning method and apparatus capable of eliminating or suppressing adhesion of dust and particles on dried wafer surfaces while minimizing generation of water marks thereon. To achive this, the wafer dryer apparatus is configured including a surface cleaning/drying chamber structure which houses therein a set of spaced-apart silicon wafer workpieces. The dry chamber is operatively associated with a vacuum evacuation device for retaining the interior of this chamber at low pressures required. A water-drain device is provided for forcing water content separated off from the wafer surfaces to drain out of the drying vessel. During such wafer drying process, the wafers may be driven rotating at high speeds to thereby accelerate centrifugal spin-off of residual drops of water on wafer surfaces. Preferably, a chosen purge gas may be fed into the chamber during wafer rotation. The purge gas supply gets started substantially simultaneously upon activation of a vacuum pump for chamber evacuation, or after completion of such vacuum evacuation. In one illustrative embodiment ultrapure water may be used to rinse the wafers in the chamber.

    摘要: A process of cleaning the interior of a semiconductor substrate containing metallic impurities therein is provided. The semiconductor substrate is heated, with one side or the both sides thereof being in contact with a melt of a metal or an inorganic salt, at a high temperature such that the melt does not react with these semiconductor and the semiconductor is not melted. By this process, the impurities present inside the substrate are removed out of the substrate and the interior thereof is cleaned.

    摘要: In the etching method, ozone water containing an oxidation agent having an oxidation-reduction potential of 2V or more is supplied onto a metal compound film such as SrRuO film or the like, and the metal compound film is etched by oxidation-reduction reaction involving oxygen. The metal compound film, which is conventionally removed by a physical removal method, can be easily removed by wet etching. Manufacture of a capacitor containing an SrRuO film and the like can thus be facilitated.
